There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

He sent both of us verbal IG messages. Luippard will back that claim.
"Verbal" confirmation is not as reliable as visual confirmation. Anyone could send a voice. message claiming an animal to be of a certain size but until I don't see a cat being weighed on a scale, with the scale itself showing the 115 kg weight mark I'm never going to buy that size. Not to note that there are various researchers from the persian leopard project that confirm the 95 kg weight, as Mohammad also said the original report tried to misreport them. Isn't that already enough?
I guess yes, you can easily discard that weight as Balam already said on Modern Weights and measurements of wild leopards. I don't know why you people are giving so much attention to this voice message whereas there is multiple evidence telling the weight was at best the result of the leopard having stomach content for the bait?
Can you please give me the Instagram of Imam? I really want to try a discussion with him.

No never on earth, as I already said to me the 115 kg weight is way off, especially when the cat in question doesn't even look to be of the claimed size.
If that leopard looked of a frame of this kind I might have believed in it :

But it doesn't. As I've already shown you, it's frame is comparable to a 90-95 kg jaguar.
So you can definitely discard the 115 kg weight and just stick to the only likely one that is 95 kg. I don't know hey you guys are giving too much attention to the voice messages.
That's not a 110+ kg leopard you can be sure.
But still may you please give to me the Instagram tag of Imam? On DM maybe? I'm curious to see what he will share to me after I ask him of the weight
Iman Memarian is the vet allegedly involved with the capture and weighing of the cat. He's adamant the Leopard was 115kg.
Mohammad and Iman had nothing to do with the capture or weighing of the cat and that study is all 2nd hand sources which again is a problem. But ask either of them if what Iman said is true, they'll back Iman I'm sure.
Iman's instagram is his name, you'll easily find it.

There are no Leopard's on earth that compare to Jaguars shown.
